Ghostly Cooper Pores Found Above Critical Temperature in Uranium Ditelluride

Original: Ghostly Cooper Pairs Persist Above Superconductivity’s Critical Temperature in Uranium Ditelluride

Researchers report that Cooper pairs in uranium ditelluride survive above the material's superconducting critical temperature, a phenomenon described as 'ghostly' because the pairs no longer produce zero electrical resistance. The finding offers new clues about unconventional superconductivity in this heavy-fermion compound and could reshape understanding of how superconducting states form and break down.

Why now: The persistence of Cooper pairs above the critical temperature challenges standard theories of superconductivity.
